I had a tweet this morning asking what I thought of the new Adobe Air Moderator App for WordPress. Having been heavily embedded in Non-WordPress things for the last few days I hadn’t seen it, but now I have I feel compelled to blog about it. It’s Awesome.
Daniel Dura has preempted the 2.7 comment API by adding the functionality he needs via a plugin and giving that plugin an Adobe Air front end. What this means is that whenever a new comment arrives on your blog you don’t need to open up your browser and log into WordPress, it appears in the desktop app and asks what you want to do with it.
I’ve been playing with it on a local install, here’s a screenshot:
If you get a lot of comments, or just want to know the moment you get a comment so you can respond to you readers in superquick time (you can’t reply directly yet) then you need to check this out.

That's excellent Daniel. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the post! Just as an FYI, once 2.7 is released, I will be updating the application to use that API. That way you actually will not have to install a plugin, all you will have to install is the desktop application.
